Prather Ranch Meat Company is a boutique firm that raises grass fed and pastured cattle in North California’s Mt. Shasta area.
Prather Ranch has a shop in the Ferry Building in San Francisco. They produced certified USDA organic beef that is free of hormones or antibiotics, and dry-age their beef 14-21 days. Their meats are sold in their shop and also at various Farmer’s Markets.
PRMC American Eatery was added in December 2011 around the corner from the shop. They serve sandwiches, burgers and the like.
Decor, Vibe – Prather Ranch has a stand at the Ferry Building Farmers Market (Tuesday, Saturday) and cooks hamburgers among other items on the grill. They sell cooked $7 breakfast sandwiches, $8/$10 griddle cakes and sausage, $7 hamburgers, $5 Bockwurst sausages during the Farmer’s market. $5 Cooked Hot dogs are sold inside.
They also attend the Danville Farmers Market (Saturdays) and the Campbell Farmers Market (Sundays) year round rain or shine.

Prather Ranch Picks:
Cheeseburger ($6) – On a fresh Acme Bakery bun with cheddar cheese, this burger was slightly juicy, cooked fine, and had lots of beef flavor. We have eaten several before and observe that the line cook’s consistency varies. The trick is that you NEED to ask for a medium rare one. It takes 15 minutes, but the results are much better. Pretty simple grilling and good meat achieved this result.
The Hamburger ($8) 6oz dry aged beef, American Cheese ($1), PRMC Bacon ($2) was ordered in their new American Eatery store in late 2011. Same old excellent meat, cooked medium rare, juicy and all housed on an Acme bun.
Hand cut crispy French Fries ($3.50) were a bit expensive for what you get, but high quality nonetheless.
OK:
None
Pans:
Buffalo Burger ($6) – Too dry and chewy when compared to the regular burger. Much leaner but who’s looking for healthy stuff in a burger?
North carolina style pulled pork sandwich ($9.50) had tons of pork chunks but was a bit too salty for us in late 2011.
Service is not the best in the world and it takes about 10 minutes to get your burger.
Prather Ranch Meat Company sells some of the tastiest meat around, making their burger one of the best around. We ate sitting down by the railings as did others, not the most comfortable location but such is life. PRMC American Eatery inside the Ferry Building brings this feast out daily.
Restaurant Serpentine and Magnolia Pub & Brewery, both in San Francisco also serve a burger with Prather Ranch meat. You can also buy some meat, bring it home, and roll your own. We have bought their steaks and lamb in the past. They were both excellent meats. Also try the Porchetta sandwich next door at Roli Roti or Il Cane Rosso. Pearl’s in San Francisco is currently our top burger pick.

[...] Il Cane Rosso took a while to bring our food. The restaurant is pretty busy during lunch. Their food was very good making this a no-brainer If You’re Visiting the Ferry Building.

[...] Cheeseburger ($5 at Eat Real festival, $7 for a bigger one at SF) lettuce, tomato, onion, shh spicy secret sauce was a pretty darn good burger. Cooked to a perfect and juicy medium rare, high quality meat, and a very high quality fluffy artisan bun. Small but great size to allow sampling other eats like the Roli Roti Porchetta sandwich or Prather Ranch hamburger. [...]
